Poppy Makes... a baby toy blanket - inspired by nijntje (miffy)

I hope you are doing well! Today I have uploaded a new video tutorial on my YouTube Channel. In the video, I'll show you step by step how to crochet a baby toy blanket. This blanket was inspired by Nijntje which you may also know as Miffy. Nijntje is a figure from a very well known Dutch children book and was created by mister Bruna in the early 50s. And since then has created worldwide knowledge. You might say that Nijntje is an unofficial mascot of the Netherlands. Besides books, there was even a short tv show created in the early 80s through the late 90s which even aired abroad and had a sort of revival early 00s. Nijntje, which officially is spelt with lowercase, so nijntje can nowadays be found on everything and everywhere. From stuffed animals to even on the Rijksmuseum Night watch, well not really of course but yeah. So without any further ado, you can go the crafting page to check out the video tutorial.


Have fun!

easy Easter crafts - step by step tutorials and FREE to download colouring pages

Can you believe that next weekend is already Easter weekend?! And with these crazy times, I haven't given it much thought really and maybe you haven't either. And since we all could use a little distraction and/or a fun activity I have made a list of some previous Easter inspired videos and Easter/ Spring inspired colouring pages. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe at home as much as possible, if possible. As you may have read in previous posts I myself am in isolation, which isn't a stranger to me, since I am chronically ill with a rare disease and therefore at high risk. And by sharing some of my experience with being in isolation and my crafts I hope I can contribute. Even if it is just one person that reads my blogs or sees a video. You are not alone! x Poppy
